Three hotels are being proposed on virgin land stretching from Smart City to Żonqor Point in the south of Malta, with one hotel earmarked to be built inside a historical fort, Times of Malta can reveal.

The three hotels would together offer some 700 rooms. The development will also feature a promenade and a beach club, all built on public land outside development zones.

The details emerged in a briefing paper prepared by the government’s privatisation unit on the request of the chairman of the Consultative Council for the South, Labour MP Silvio Parnis.

The briefing paper seen by Times of Malta will be discussed at the next council meeting on Thursday. Council members include Malta Developers Association president Sandro Chetcuti, who is backing the development.

The three hotels to be built would consist of a five-star hotel close to Smart City, a boutique hotel located within Fort Leonardu “for a unique experience”, and an iconic hotel that would “symbolise a truly romantic Mediterranean backdrop” at the furthermost tip of Żonqor Point.
